Some crazy dude at some point must have thought "I like hats, but I don't like helmets, but I also like having a sword-resistant head...". Now we have iron hats.
The Iron Hat is similar in design to the straw hat, with the exception that is made with armour plating. A wicker head cap rests on top of the character's head and then an iron plate covers the top of the head and individual armour plates are fastened together to create the brim of the hat. In real life, this design was used in Japan and was called a jingasa ("war hat"). While the item icon appears to be black, the actual hat is of a silver-like white tone.
